Indigenous artists Jeremy Dennis (Shinnecock) and Koyoltzintli Miranda-Rivadeneira (Ecuadorian, Chi’xi) will discuss the Land Back movement in a roundtable discussion with Shinnecock Council Trustee and attorney Kelly Dennis, and artist Nour Batyne on Friday, September 30 at 6 PM, in person at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill.
Work by Miranda-Rivadeneira and Jeremy Dennis is featured on the Shinnecock Monuments as part of the exhibition “Another Justice: US is Them–Hank Willis Thomas | For Freedoms,” on view through November 6 at the museum, and offsite at the Monuments on Montauk Highway.
Jeremy Dennis and Miranda-Rivadeneira are among 12 contemporary artists from “For Freedoms” — the artist coalition founded by conceptual artist Hank Willis Thomas, Eric Gottesman, Michelle Woo, and Wyatt Gallery — represented in the exhibition. “Another Justice: US is Them” includes nearly 30 works and series — many created specifically for the exhibition — in mixed media, sculpture, site-specific installation, wall painting, and photography.
Jeremy Dennis is a contemporary fine art photographer and a tribal member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation. In his work, he explores indigenous identity, culture, and assimilation. Miranda-Rivadeneria is an interdisciplinary artist, plant worker, and educator living in New York. She grew up in the coast of Ecuador and the Andes, geographies that permeate her work.
Kelly Dennis is a licensed attorney specializing in Federal American Indian Law, and Secretary of the Council of Trustees for the Shinnecock Indian Nation. Nour Batyne is a creative producer, facilitator, and artist whose work lies at the intersection of immersive storytelling, futures thinking, and social innovation.
